yes. you would have to downgrade to 9.2 then most people recommend installing a9lh and a cfw

You should upgrade to 9.2 temporarily.
Once you get A9LH installed, you can upgrade to the latest firmware.
With 10.7 firmware you will need a9lh to install pirated games.
9.2 was the last version that played really well with homebrew.
A9LH is not that hard once you figure out howto do it.
Use https://github.com/Plailect/PlaiSysUpdater/releases/
Honestly getting your system homebrew is a one time process of following instructions and gruntwork.

Wouldn't he have to make custom legit CIAs for every game?
The process for creating those legit CIAs relying on heavily unreliable exploits.
Seems like that would be ALOT more work in the long run, plus he would lose it as soon as his system updates.
Once he gets a9lh/luma 3ds he can just use freeshop on the latest firmware.

okay, ill downgrade my system to 9.2 (from 10.7). there should be no problems or is there a chance my system will brick?
then i can follow the steps to installing a cfw/a9lh and ill be able to play pirated games right?

many cfws can use freeshop and dont need legit cias. i dont know any that need legit ones actually. i use gateway all the time and its just like luma with extra cheat support

PlaiSysUpdater is based off safesysupdater so the risk is very low just make sure you get the proper downgrade files.

Gateway is a $50-$80 option which may not be viable for him.
When I got my n3ds running 10.7 I was unable to run any cfw in userland.
Ultimately I think he would still be much better off with a9lh installed.

Homebrew that runs on 10.7 was a very mixed bad for me, many things simply didn't work.
He may be more lucky, but with less than a hour he could have A9LH installed and have no more issues.

so if i want a cfw, i may as well get a9lh? whats so good about a9lh other than security? i heard u can run 2 firmwares (9.2 and the latest) but i dont think you need a9lh for that, do you?

A9LH has better boot times and will boot correctly all the time, while just an emunand does not. It also has better gba support (you can actually back up your save files) and you'll be able to update the firmware without losing access to anything.

how do i know if i have the proper downgrade files? i just downloaded the starter.zip off the a9lh guide site and booted the 2ds

*removed*
Somebody else more knowledgeable will have to tell you which version.
If the 2ds really uses o3ds hw you might have to downgrade to an even older version.
If you bought your 2ds as US system it should be *Removed*
Assuming it uses o3ds hw/fw I really don't know for sure.
